Exporting MVR files

Command	Path
Export MVR	File > Export

The Export MVR command allows lighting and scene designs created in Vectorworks to be exported to a lighting console or visualizer to program a show. The scene elements can be edited directly from a visualizer. These edits, including new objects, object movements, and modified fixture data, can then be merged with the Vectorworks drawing to update the scene. See Importing MVR for more information.

2D objects are not supported by MVR.

You can also export a file to .mvr and open it directly in Vision; see Exporting to Vision.

To export a .mvr file:

Select the command.

The Export MVR File dialog box opens.

Select the desired export options.

Click to show/hide the parameters.

Specify the export file name and destination.
